The New York Times Crossword Puzzle and the 3,100 Mile Race

By Rupantar LaRussoauthor bio »

Wednesday, 17 January, 2018

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

For people who happen to be fans of both the New York Times daily crossword puzzle and the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3,100 Mile Race (we know you're out there!) the January 17, 2018 puzzle was a double treat.

The Times ran a short article going through some of the clues of that puzzle. The clue for 27 across was 'Marathon leader'. As co-puzzle author (and NYT crossword debutante) Alan Southworth relates, he was wondering if people unfamiliar with ultramarathoning would get the answer (Ultra). Looking into the matter, he came across the the 3,100 Mile Race which has been the subject of much discussion ever since. The photo in the article shows Yolanda Holder en route to completing the race in her inaugural effort in 2017, the first person to do it solely by walking. The Times ran a lengthy profile of Yolanda in July, which you can read here...

Audio: how I train for multi-day races

By Nirbhasa Mageeauthor bio »

Tuesday, 9 January, 2018

About the author:

Nirbhasa is originally from Ireland but currently lives in Reykjavik, Iceland. He is an enthusiastic multi-day runner, having twice completed both the Ten Day Race and the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race - the longest race in the world.

Most ultra-runners have to balance training for many hours a day with the demands of their regular life, and Jayasalini Abramovskikh is no exception, working at least 9 hours a day at her job as an economist. Jayasalini has run our 6 and 10 day race many times, and in 2014 became the first Russian woman to complete the 3100 Mile Race. She talks how she keep her really long runs for weekends and public holidays, how she varies her training, and (interestingly) how she prefers to undertrain rather than overtrain.

In her interview, she also talked about how she got into ultrarunning in the first place:

Pradeep Radio Interview on KBS Kyoto Radio, Japan

By Rupantar LaRussoauthor bio »

Sunday, 22 October, 2017

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

The following is a translation of the KBS Radio interview by Ms. Harashita Sunaoshi:

Teach Us! Fun Run

Let’s Run aired October 22

“The World’s Longest Certified Race 3100 Race”

I (the runner-host Ms. Junko Wakabayashi, aka Waka) interviewed Mr. Pradeep Hoogakker from the Netherlands, who completed this race in 53 days and 9 hours in 2011!! (with the translator Ms. Harashita Sunaoshi)

“3100 Mile Race”

Started by Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in New York in 1997, continuing for 20 years.

3100 miles = 4989km (approximately 5000km)

Race Track: 5649 laps of a 880m-long loop

Cut-off: 52 days (To complete, the runner has to run at the pace of 95.9km per day.)

Note: In the year Mr. Pradeep did the race, the cut-off was extended to 54 days due to the extreme heat.

39 runners completed in the 20 years

The race track was open every day from 7am to 12 midnight.

7000 to 10000kcal must be consumed each day, equivalent of one week’s food intake for a person with normal activities.

The kitchen crew cooks customized food for each runner.

The runners use up 10 to 12 pairs of shoes.

Average temperature: 30C, Humidity: 80-95%

Waka: What brought you to the race?

Pradeep: One day, while I was meditating after having a good run, the idea of running the 3100 mile race spontaneously came to my heart and I felt inner thrill. I had been to the race a few times as a helper before. I got advice from the runners then, and trained myself for 6 years. I trained to run long distances, starting from 10km a day, 40km once a week, and up to 100km once a month. I also practised how to eat while running, as well as trying different running outfits and shoes.

Waka: And the actual race came. Didn’t you get bored running 5649 laps?

Pradeep: Everybody asks that question! Actually, many ultra races have loops instead of a straight route. It actually makes a lot of sense since you can have your own table where you can put your belongings such as shoes and supplements. Also, you feel everybody is running together—from the fastest to the slowest ones in the race. We can inspire each other, and we feel oneness, which is really good.

Waka: Still, it’s sooo long. How did you keep your motivation?

Pradeep: We told different jokes to each other!

Waka: What was most difficult?

Pradeep: The first 10 days were really difficult. My feet were not used to running on concrete; at night, my whole body ached and could not sleep. My mind started thinking, “How can I run tomorrow being like this?,” which made me sleepless. But as weeks went by, I learned that I could run even if I had not been able to sleep the night before. Something within myself recovered with renewed energy.

Waka: What was most moving?

Pradeep: There were many things. I felt oneness, and one morning, as I watched the sun rise, I felt as if the sun was rising inside my own heart. And I felt: This is life…!

Waka: You experienced Life…yet, your feet must have been…?

Pradeep: All blisters! Can I say something gross?

Waka: No thank you! Did you discover something new about yourself?

Pradeep: I realized I had a tendency to feel sorry for myself. So I had to conquer that. I could not complete the race unless I could truly feel I could do it. The process of overcoming my weaknesses became a valuable experience.

Waka: Has your life perspective changed after the race?

Pradeep: Yes. The wonderful experiences during the race stay inside myself even after the race finished. I feel that happiness means progress; going forward. In ordinary life, many times we think we are going forward but are actually going round and round in the same place. But in this race, though we were running round and round, I felt I was going forward. Those are what I learned through the race. My weaknesses unavoidably came forward so I had no choice but to conquer them, which led to joy and happiness.

Waka: What is your goal now?

Pradeep: There are many. Everybody needs a new goal. My first aim is to improve my marathon time, from 3 hours 4 minutes to under 3 hours. I also want to write a book about my 3100 race experiences. Most importantly, I feel Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy “Self-Transcendence” is wonderful. No matter what field you are in, the important thing is to transcend yourself.

Waka: You have said so much today that resonate with our souls: ‘Continuous self-transcendence,’ ‘Importance of feeling inner thrill in your heart’, and ‘Happiness means progress’.

Dear listeners, are you doing something that thrills your heart? Are you trying to transcend yourself now? Yes, you can start today! I was so moved to meet Mr. Pradeep. Thank you so much!

On August 8, Harita Davies became the first New Zealand woman to finish the 3100 Mile Race, breaking the overall NZ record in the process. Her fellow New Zealanders seem to be pretty inspired by it, as evidenced by the amount of media coverage she has received! Here are links to some of the interviews:

TVNZ's News One programme, as well as appearances on the Breakfast Show

In one of the interviews, when asked about different problems during the race, Harita replied:

"I've had shin spints and ankle problems, probably every part of by body has had problems, but the amazing thing is that the human body has this incredible capacity to go on and to heal itself…Sri Chinmoy really promoted these races as a way to tap into the unlimited potential that we all have within ourselves and to go far beyond the problems of the mind, because the mind will always say that its impossible."

Harita Davies finished fourth in the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race, conquering the 5649 lap course in 51 days+12:48:14. It was her first finish and first attempt. She averaged 60.158 miles per day(96.815 km). She was a model of consistency throughout the seven and a half-week race. About four hours later, the pedestrienne Yolanda Holder became a legend, walking the entire 3100 miles and finishing fifth overall in 51 days+17:00:13. She became the oldest woman to finish the 3100 mile race, and only the second American woman to complete this difficult race. She is the first pure walker to attempt the distance. She has now set many age-group women's best marks for daily totals, as well as miles and kms.

Monday, 7 August, 2017

With but one day remaining, Harita Davies and Yolanda Holder have the opportunity of a lifetime- a finish of 3100 miles- beckoning them. Harita needs 86 laps (47.1968 miles), to reach the goal in her first try. Yolanda Holder, whose mountains seemed to be taller than those of her comrades in running shoes the last three weeks, has but one long day with 109 lap(59.8192 miles) to be walked along with her smiles, which will get bigger as the Goal approaches. Good luck to both ladies as they have transcended their ability to endure and perform so well in the pressure of an 18-hour day. Harita is aiming for a finish between 7:00 and 8:00 pm (1900 - 2000 hours). Yolanda is projected to reach 3100 miles at around 11:15 pm. Meanwhile, Smarana Puntigam reached 65.3 miles to lead all athletes today.

Sunday, 6 August, 2017

Harita Davies all but settled the competiton for fourth place overall with another solid day of 62.01 miles. She has but 197 laps to go to finish comfortably tuesday evening. Yolanda Holder reached 60.36 miles to stay close to her plan for finishing. She has 221 laps remaining, to be divided by two days. These two ladies deserve plaudits for their fine talent and performance under pressure. They were not expected to be on the scoreboard as finishers, but finishers appears to be their happy fate. The Day leader honor, however, went to another first-time runner- big Andrey Andreev- who rocked 70.24 miles out of his lighter, athletic body. He has supposedly lost nearly 13 kg from constantly moving for 16 to 17 hours a day the last 50 days. He also looks about 7 or 8 years younger, after a summer of running and running.

Day 49

Saturday, 5 August, 2017

On a crisp, clear, breezy evening, Kaneenika Janakova,47, of Bratislava, Slovakia finished the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race in 48 days+14:24:10, breaking the recent women's record set by Austrian legend Surasa Mairer by 17 hours and six minutes. Kaneenika's performance was striking in how she dominated not only the lady competitors, but also how she rivaled the men, while finishing second overall, and setting event records for the ladies from 4000km right to the finish. She transcended her own best time for 3100 miles by two days plus 17 hours, climbing to the top of the women's rankings, and moving from 30th place to 21st overall.

Nirbhasa Magee, a native of Dublin, Ireland finished second man, third overall in a personal best time of 48 days+16:47:01. He was two days plus 19 hours faster than his previous effort in 2015. He climbs in the 3100 mile rankings from 33rd place to 22nd. He is still the only Irish runner to ever complete the 3100.

Harita Davies and Yolanda Holder are still trending towards finishing on Tuesday evening, before the midnight end game. Harita ran 60.91 miles, and Yolanda stopped with 63.11. They have become the crowd favorites as they have defied the odds by placing themselves in position to finish the longest race.

Kaneenika Janakova is on the cusp of greatness in the 3100 Mile Race. She starts Saturday with 96 laps to go (52.64 miles) in order to reach a personal best, a women's all-time best, and the performance of the race. She leads the mark of the great Surasa Mairer of Austria by 77 laps (42.26 miles), and will have tied the highest placing in 3100 Mile history by a woman (second), set by another immortal- Suprabha Beckjord of the US in the first 3100 Mile Race in 1997. She leads Nirbhasa Magee of Ireland by ten laps. He was 2 days 11 hours ahead of his split at 3000 miles from 2015. Both Kaneenika and Nirbhasa should finish the race by nine-thirty, and ten-thirty in the evening,respectively, if form holds. Harita Davies and Yolanda Holder continue the pursuit of laps in earnest. They are facing four more days of holding the difficult pace needed to finish. Stay tuned, folks.

Vasu Duzhiy, 51, of St Petersburg, Russia won the 21st Annual Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race for the second time in 46 days+17:38:22. He has completed the longest footrace six straight times. He is still ranked fifth all-time and is one of only five men to average 70 miles a day for the duration of the race. Vasu was serenaded with songs and flowers by a throng of over 120 people. Kaneenika Janakova continued her historic run with a strong 64.2 miles today. She has only 211 laps remaining and hopes to finish Saturday evening. Nirbhasa Magee is two days ahead of his previous best for the 3100, and eyes a saturday finish as well. Harita Davies was steady as usual, and it paid off again with 60.36 miles. Yolanda Holder walked her way to 61.4 miles and is still within sight of the goal with five days left.

Day 46

Wednesday, 2 August, 2017

It was sticky and overcast all day, with a small t-storm dumping a little rain on the race at 5:00 pm. The rest of the day was prime running weather, evidenced by seven runners moving past 60 miles like it was a 24-hour race, not a 52- day endurance test. Vasu Duzhiy moved into position to finish on Thursday night, with a fine 71.34 mile day. He has only 123 laps to go, which is 67.5 miles. He can do that on Thursday, just because he has done it in previous races. Kaneenika Janakova is enjoying the view from second place overall, as she continues her assault on the two-year women's record. At the end of her 64.2 mile day, she now enjoys the cushion of 73 laps (40.01 miles) ahead of the women's best with three days left in her journey around the block. She has not run below 113 laps since Day 26. Third place belongs to Nirbhasa Magee, who ran 63.11 miles and continues on to his own glorious personal best on Saturday evening. Harita Davies had her best day since Day 31 with 62.01 miles. Yolanda Holder remained focused on her Herculean task by walking 62.56 miles. Both she and Harita can see the light at the end of the tunnel, a mere six days effort away. The final plaudit of the day goes to the wild card of the race- Ananda-Lahari Zuscin, who unleashed an 84.5 mile day, just to remind everyone that, yes, he belongs here among some of the best super-long endurance athletes on the planet. If you are in town, please come out Thursday evening, or watch the webcam. Vasu will be finishing his sixth straight 3100 somewhere between 10:00 pm and 11:00pm. See you there.

Day 45

Tuesday, 1 August, 2017

A warm day, replete with hot sun and rising humidity, could not repel the band of ten runners from completing their laps. Vasu Duzhiy wiggled between the 90º heat and layers of corn starch all over his exposed skin to reach 66.40 miles. He was watched closely by Kaneenika Janakova, who nearly matched Vasu with her own 65.30 miles. She pulled clear of Nirbhasa Magee this evening for second place overall, heading towards an historic finish on saturday evening if all goes well. Harita Davies and Yolanda Holder padded their total laps with very good days of 111 and 115 laps, respectively. One full week left, the race is ending fast, so run if you can, walk like no other, or savor every moment.
